Video: Astronaut's tool bag seen from Earth

An astronaut's lost tool bag is probably not what you would expect to see when you look up at the night sky. But that's just what a man in Brockville, Ontario, Canada, captured on videotape from his backyard observatory last Saturday.

Midway through the outing, she noticed that grease gun she was carrying to
lubricate joints on the station had leaked in her tool bag. As she
tried to clean it out, the bag slipped away and drifted off into space - all under
the watchful eye of NASA's video cameras.

There
will be further opportunities to spot the bag in the coming weeks.
SpaceWeather.com's Satellite Tracker
is monitoring the toolbag as it orbits the Earth. Enter your postcode (US and Canada only) and it will tell you if and when you can see it for yourself.

Yeh right, "she tried to clean it out", the raw video clearly shows that the tool bag or box [what ever] was pushed to one side with enought force to send it into a lower earth orbit. Just because it was in her way she shoved it to one side while rummaging through another bag.

It was like watching a woman at the till trying to find the exact change in the bottem of her bag, getting more frustrated cos she knows its there, so they start flinging things around.

what would have happened if that was the bag contaning the screws for the hubbles next service, after they were all removed. Oops sorry it was an accident.

No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more - to be happy and successful - than much money. Orison Swett Marden
